I think Pierre Paul is a much better athlete than Vernon Gholston was. You could see in the combine workouts how stiff Gholston was, while this kid moves very smoothly in the drills.

That being said, he had 6.5 or 7 sacks this year, his only year playing D1 football. It one thing if you keep him at DE, but if you are a 3-4 team looking at him at OLB, then you are now talking about grooming a kid for a new position with limited production due to playing only one year of major college football.

The one thing that Parcells and this regime likes is multiple years of production. That why a Brandon Graham or Everson Griffin make more sense than Paul for Miami at #12.

I do believe someone is going to take Paul before he gets to Miami though. Al Davis loves freaky athletes.
